wow, this is sad. Obviously no canucks posting in this thread yet. Here in winnipeg, we had our first major snowfall (only 8") of the year, which came about a month later than usual. Today it was -40 outside (thats the same in celcius and farenheight). Were supposed to get another 3" of snow tommorow I'll have to get a picture of my z sleeping in a blanket of snow.

Nice car! That vg sounds amazing.

What about corvette summer. The "dream car"

i thinking of doing a fiero seat swap too. My buddy has a set laying around in the same tan as my interior.

what about from this generation camaro? there just sealed beams, so they'd only cost like 10$ at any parts store.

I'm sold! Are those custom upolstered(sp)?

Aw damn, that voice is a chick magnet. However, the stereo is out, and the voice still comes on. Since i'm gonna be using all new speakers anyways, all wired straight to the deck, will it still work? Since I won't be touching the factory speaker wiring more than i already have. I've got my ground and battery wire set up, now i need to get this accessory wire taken car of. I tapped into a wire going to the foglight switch that had already spliced into a wire comming out ot the column. The deck wouldn't turn on, however the disk eject did work. what if i disconnected the main connector comming out of the culumn, and grounded the negative side of the voltmeter, and touched the pins in the connector?

well i just pulled the harness out of my corolla where it was previously installed, and the antenna turn on lead was not connected to anything (the corolla does not have a power antenna), so since the antenna is already stuck in the upright position, and i don't car to fix it, can i just ignore it all together?

so the antenna, ground, and memory leads are somewhat covered, (still have to find this damn antenna lead). I'm still left clueless as to the power lead, and illumination lead. Its a clarion deck if that helps. (Actually, i noticed the original was clarion too. Neato)

i disagree, i think you should paint the liscence plate indent flat black to match the tailights. Classic mopar style. Also, may i recomend some wheel spacers? I just bought a 83 2+2 a week ago, and yours is an inpiration for sure. Ps; What are your plans for the shift boot? your not gonna keep the rubber one are you?

I picked up a 83 280zx 2+2 a week ago today. I'm very happy with the car, only the 23 year old stereo just isn't cutting it for me. The deck is out, and i'm finishing up a home made installation kit/panel, but the wiring has left me confuzzed. I spent yesterday evening scowering every audio shop in the city for a wiring harness, and it looks like i'm not gonna get one locally. I don't feel like buying anything over the internet, so i guess i just need to hardwire it. So i need to know which wire is which. I searched the board with no luck, but if anyone can point me to a thread that has my answer, that would be awesome. I have the folowing coloured wires to deal with: 8 pin connector (2 pins are connect by 1 wire) -yellow w/ red stripe -yellow w/black stripe -turquoise w/ white stripe -solid white -blue w/ re stripe -blue w/ black stripe 5 pin connector -solid black (ground right?) -solid green -solid blue -green w/ yellow stripe -red w/ white stripe Looking at the instructions for the clarion deck i'll be installing, it takes 5 wires, so i guess that means the 5 pin connector goes to the deck, and the 8 pin is for the speakers. I don't understant why some of the wires in the 8 pin connector are "jumped" though, with only 6 wires leaving the 8 pin connector. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
